Also most of your sentences lack a substantial amount of articles.

This does not make sense. Why do you need multiple interrupt domains if
there is more than one physical interrupt?

'It seems' is not a technical argument.

Now you start talking about parent interrupts. Can you please make your
mind up and concisely explain what this is about?

What for? This new stuff is not going to be used for legacy setups with
hard coded Linux interrupt numbers. So there is no point to add a
function plus an export which is never used.
